I Can't Stand It!

I don't know why but I absolutely hate talking on the phone! I only like to talk on the phone if I have something urgent to say but I would much rather talk to whomever in person. I will say though that I love my smart phone that I got for Christmas. I don't use it much for talking but I use it for everything else. Who would have thought that a phone could take your heart rate?! I found an application where it actually takes your heartrate using the camera & light! Technology can be so interesting sometimes.

Usually I use it to text, do email, or surf the 'net.

When I was little, before the days of caller ID, a lot of people would make obscene and threatening phone calls. I had been taught only that children should respect adults and answer truthfully any questions any adult asked. So... I answered the phone, the man asked me all kinds...

I tend to respond to people with short, little answers like "Mm" or "Yeah", but when I'm on the phone, I feel like I HAVE to be saying more.
I also tend to nod or shake my head in response, and obviously they can't see me(hopefully...O.O).
And, really, I'm...
